advantage.

Locally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers,linking reighbors in web of econimic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.

Local Decision-Making
Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

Entrepreneurship
